G & L Sb-2 tribute, early run with trans finish and r/w board. *video added* - *WITHDRAWN* £375 Rochester Kent

[BaggyMan]

The SB-2 is Leo Fenders final design on the P-J. Smaller bodied than a precision is easier on the neck.

 

This is one of the first run versions and is just amazing, the build quality is excellent with the now discontinued rosewood board..along with a trans orange finish, also now unavailable.

US hardware and pickups (the industry renowned MFD pickups).

 

The output is huge and great tonally.

 

One unusual design difference is the bass has one volume per set of pickups and no treble . Balancing the tone is a very simple blend of the p pickup (bassier) and the J pickup (treble...ier) volumes.

 

There is an easy mod to make it like a p-j or use stack knobs, but i never felt there was a need.

 

Really a great gig instrument, lighter than a p bass, easy on the neck and back. Finally it has a hipshot detuner a great upgrade to the four stringer format.

I cant say enough good things about these. Leo Fender said it was his best bass design. A players instrument for sure.

thanks.  Greg brought us all together for this project to raise money for charities  (four songs four charities).  We also did a charity single for NHS workers affected by the COVID crisis (ptsd) called 'lifeboat'..

Beyond me, circumstances being different it would be the first one to be kept.  Punches way beyond its label.
